I posted a long one in the feedback section of the first pen shifting lesson.... but I left out one tip that might help someone just starting out: .. it's so silmple, silly really but it might help a beginner get down the fretboard in a hurry:

Play the octive scale.

3rd fret Pent mino scale can be slid up to the 15 th fret for a quick lick or run and then back down to the 3rd fret ... it was the first way I got confident moving up the fretboard while staying in time... and it can give you some bearings if you get into unfamiliar territory in the 3rd or fourth parttern during a run - just know you can land safely at the octive fret and then jump back to where you came from.
